Ultimate
This Friday we played Ultimate Frisbee for three hours straight. Since talking about the games would be pretty boring, I thought I might introduce some of the players:
Me: I love diving and firing long passes. Some people complain when I hold on to the frisbee for a long time, waiting for an open teammate. My favorite phrase: "Take it slow!"
CJ: The best way to describe CJ is small. Really small. CJ is a short asian freshmen who cherry picks very effectively. He knows how to run a mean cut in the inzone. The best thing about CJ is that he goes almost unnoticed because of his size.
Greg: Greg creates an entire game plan just because of his ability to come up with the frisbee no matter who is defending: "Oh look, Greg is in the inzone. Huck it!" He's tall and big, not very creative, but almost always catches a difficult throw in traffic.
Derek: If Derek was an animal, it would be a giraffe. He's SUPER awkward, but since he's so tall, he can get throws before people have the chance to jump. He always falls down after making a catch even if it was a really easy one. Seriously.
Nick: Nick organizes Frisbee Friday. He sets up the fields and makes teams (often to suit his wishes). He has a good throw, and catches well, but isn't the fastest guy around.
Nate: Nate will destroy any offensive effort. He's quick and sees the game well which allows him to intercept loads of passes.
Brandon: This guy is one of the best players. He throws well, has a very good game plan, and runs fast. Sometimes he fires to quick or without looking and nails the ground.
Of course there are others, but these people help give the game flavor. Can't wait until next time....

Your group sounds really fun! Can you video some of it? I'd love to watch you guys play. :) We definitely miss you when we play! Jordan and Sebi are awesome! We also got Chelsea and Jessi Cain to play once. They both did well!
Thanks for your thoughtful and observant descriptions It is fun to imagine playing with you guys or watching you play.
I wish I could join your games. then again, I wish you could join my pranks and adventures. I'm thinking getting a land rover and driving from Northern Norway to Cape Town. Care to come?
